Friday Playlist
I’m all set to unleash my Favorite Songs of 2018 list on the world early next week. As was a tradition on my old podcast, I’ll offer up this appetizer: a playlist of my #1 song of each year going back to 2004. I always offer the disclaimer that I do not update these lists. A few of these songs would likely not be #1 anymore if I went back and re-evaluated each year. But, still, good songs. Oh, and last year there were co-#1’s, thus two songs by The War on Drugs to finish the set. These go in chronological order, so you’ll start with 2004 and work your way forward.
